How do I cut the Screw in my Bulletguide?

[Kilryth 0]

I installed a bullet guide with one of Dinzag Arms' kits, and the screw extends below the front trunnion. I want to cut the extended portion off so the cleaning rod will slide down all the way. Right now, the screw is preventing the cleaning rod from going down all of the way.

 

Of course, an easy way would be to remove the screw and dremel it down. I don't want to do this because I have already red loktited it in place. I am also afraid that the vice or dremel might damage the threads or the head of the screw.

 

I would just like to cut the screw through the opening in the front of the receiver. I have tried drilling, but the bit slides off the screw a lot. I may just have to drill until it finally works. Filing doesn't seem to give enough space.

 

I'm afraid that the force from a hammer & chisel may damage something. I don't know of any cutters that will fit in the receiver.

 

Any suggestions? I don't know much about powersaws (other than rotary ones)

Will a hacksaw blade fit inside there. If so, wrap it with a rag and slowly saw it off.

 

Good luck.

I'd say a hacksaw blade would fit in there, actually. I wasn't sure if it was strong enough to cut. I will pick one of these up and try it.
